Discover the latest trends and theories in architecture with this comprehensive guide, aptly titled “The Contemporary Project in Architecture.” This book is an essential tool for understanding the ongoing evolution of modern architectural designs and methodologies, often referred to as “contemporism.”
Explore the rich tapestry of ideas, projects, and theories that shape the contemporary language of architecture, alongside an in-depth review of topology (form) and typology (system and elements). This guide aims to address the postmodern question: “How do we move beyond modernism?” It examines various architectural styles that have emerged in response to the ever-changing societal context and the perceived limitations of modernism.
Key features of this book include:
– A comprehensive index filled with highly illustrated projects, each working under the parameters of breaking away from modernism to present a holistic integration of topology and typology.
– Individual spreads that can be read sequentially or independently, allowing readers to make their own connections and interpretations.
– Insightful interviews and contributions from renowned architects like Toyo Ito, Anthony Vidler, Ben van Berkel, Christian Kerez, and Greg Lynn.
This book is a must-read for students pursuing undergraduate and graduate studies in architecture. It provides a valuable insight into the modern architectural practice’s evolution and the structure for a contemporary language in architecture. Dive into the exploration of “contemporism” and enhance your understanding of the current architecture landscape
